Lin Chen comforted her, "Honey, relax. Many veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder; it's perfectly normal for psychological issues to be difficult to manage."
"If it were easy to control, I'd have been fine long ago."
Lin Chen smiled, "Even though I didn't get to hold you, I appreciate your feelings."
Xu Mengyao lowered her head and quietly said, "When Mom and Dad get back, I... I'll move in with you."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
"Mengyao, what did you say? I didn't hear you."
Xu Mengyao stomped her foot and bashfully said, "If you didn't hear anything, then forget about it, I didn't say anything."
Lin Chen: "I vaguely heard you say you're going to move in with me."
"That's not how it is."
"I'm going to take a nap with Xiaoxi."
Xu Mengyao said, quickly heading towards the stairs.
"Mengyao, you're not even taking the elevator."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
The elevator was close to Lin Chen, and she just wanted to get away quickly.
Lin Chen smiled.
Although he didn't get to hug Xu Mengyao just now, their relationship had still advanced quite a bit.
Xu Mengyao had just taken the initiative to let him hold her. It's just that she hadn't yet overcome her psychological barriers.
It might be easy for ordinary people to be proactive, but Xu Mengyao had a psychological condition, so it wasn't easy for her to take this step.
I thought she'd only move in after her parents returned and convinced her, but I didn't expect her to suggest it herself.
Not bad.
Lin Chen muttered inwardly.
It was much better when both parties were enthusiastic than just one.
In the room, Xu Mengyao covered her face.
She hadn't expected that she would just now suggest Lin Chen hold her, and also suggest that she would move in later.
"Xu Mengyao, weren't you a bit too forward just now?"
"What does Lin Chen think of you now?"
Xu Mengyao felt her face flush.
Two hours later, Lin Xiaoxi woke up. Lin Chen said, "Xiaoxi, we're going back now. How about we come visit your little friends again in a while?"
"Mmhmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
She wasn't too sad about leaving. In her heart, Lin Chen, her father, was far more important than her little friends.
Xu Mengyao handed a bag to Lin Chen. "Lin Chen, this is Xiaoxi's vaccination record. She needs to get vaccinated, so you should take her when the time comes."
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chen pitifully.
"Daddy, the shot hurts so much, so much. I don't want the shot. Can I just take medicine and not get the shot?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "Xiaoxi, no. Getting vaccinated isn't about treating an illness; it's about preventing illness. Daddy can treat your illnesses, but he can't prevent them."
"Daddy, then I'll cry."
Lin Xiaoxi said fearfully.
Xu Mengyao said, "The last few times she got vaccinated, Xiaoxi cried so hard it shook the heavens and the earth. I'm almost afraid to take her to get vaccinated."
Lin Chen nodded, "I'll take her. Xiaoxi, say goodbye to Mommy. Mommy has something to do."
"Bye-bye Mommy."
"Both Daddy and I love you."
Xu Mengyao picked up Lin Xiaoxi, "Mommy will take you to the car."
Soon, Lin Chen drove away. Xu Mengyao gazed at the direction the car had left, not going back inside for a while.
"Cough!"
Yuan Yuan's Mother appeared.
Xu Mengyao came back to her senses.
Yuan Yuan's Mother said, "Mengyao, Yuan Yuan and the others are out playing. I came to call Xiaoxi, but it seems I'm late. Xiaoxi and her father have left."
"Someone is about to turn into a wife-gazing stone."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Mengyao, what's going on between you and Lin Chen? Your relationship seems very special."
Yuan Yuan's Mother asked.
She and Xu Mengyao had a pretty good relationship. Although it wasn't as close as Shen Qing and Xu Mengyao's best friend relationship, it was already quite good for neighbors.
Xu Mengyao: "We unexpectedly had Xiaoxi. We weren't together before, but we're already registered now."
Yuan Yuan's Mother nodded: "Understood."
"Get on the bus first, then buy the ticket later, and then have a wedding later."
"Mengyao, you have to seize this opportunity. I can see that Lin Chen is very good to you and Xiaoxi."
"Feelings are the most important thing; money isn't that important. My ex-husband was very rich, but didn't he run off with a vixen?"
Xu Mengyao nodded slightly.
Yuan Yuan's Mother: "You'd better live together. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of by a vixen. It's hard for men to chase women, but it's much easier for women to chase men."
"Especially beautiful women."
"Qingqing, I just did something stupid."
Xu Mengyao messaged Shen Qing.
Shen Qing: "What stupid thing did you do? Tell me so I can be happy."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Lin Chen treats me and Xiaoxi very well. I was impulsive, and I agreed to let Lin Chen hug me."
Shen Qing sent a voice message, and she said softly, "Mengyao, are you sending me this message just to show off your happiness? You've caused me three thousand points of damage."
"Three big meals won't be enough to recover."
"It has to be big meals made by Lin Chen, nothing else will do."
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen didn't hug me. When he was about to, my body couldn't stop trembling."
"Lin Chen said he'd hug me later."
"I suggested that we go stay at his place after my parents come back."
Shen Qing's eyes lit up: "It's great that you're going to stay with him. Does your place need a nanny? I can totally handle it."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"No, thank you!"
Shen Qing: "Mengyao, when will your aunt and uncle be back? I miss them."
Xu Mengyao said, annoyed, "I think you just want me to hurry over so you can freeload off their meals."
"Hehe."
"Qingqing, do you think Lin Chen will think I'm being too forward, that I'm not demure enough?"
Shen Qing: "Just follow your heart. You two aren't like other couples. You have the certificate and a child. Essentially, you're married."
"This strategist is never worried you aren't demure enough. I'm worried you'll be too demure and miss out on Lin Chen."
"What happened with Lin Chen when he went to your place?"
Xu Mengyao briefly recounted the events of the past two days.
Shen Qing chuckled, "Lin Chen is quite clever. After that meal, I reckon he's got several more people singing his praises."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Yuan Yuan's Mother was already speaking up for Lin Chen.
"I can't chat anymore; I have to work."
Xu Mengyao said.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen drove to a community hospital.
"Daddy, I'm scared."
Tears welled up in Lin Xiaoxi's eyes before they even went inside.
She was smart, but she was only two years old. Many children her age were afraid of injections.
"Xiaoxi, then we won't get a shot first."
"Daddy will take you to buy some doctor toys, and we'll get familiar with them. How about we see how doctors do things, okay?"
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi.
He didn't force Lin Xiaoxi to get the shot; it would hurt her, and she'd definitely be even more resistant to injections in the future.
"Okay."
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up.
Lin Chen had bought a doctor's toy set for Lin Xiaoxi.
Back home, Lin Chen started playing with Lin Xiaoxi.
"Host, you are playing with the doctor toys with Lin Xiaoxi. You have obtained the Western Medicine skill. Twenty hours to Grandmaster level, forty hours to Great Grandmaster."
The System's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen was surprised.
Traditional Chinese Medicine took thirty hours, and sixty hours respectively.
The Western Medicine skill required less time.
